    I had the chicken schwarma. Good portion and tender chicken but I couldn't really taste much other than saltiness. It was a satisfying meal though.

    The spicy meatballs with cranberry, carrots and turmeric rice was fantastic, service was excellent and smooth going and the food court seating was relatively easy to access. This place is definitely on the return list!

    Honestly food was tasty. But terrible customer service. Extremely rude and unprofessional staff. They refused to give any extra tissues. Instructed by the head staff "Only 1 tissue per meal.." regardless of how much oil drips out of the showerma. Not to blame the joint. But the owner should seriously consider upskilling their head staff with lessons on customer service.

    We were in the area for vivid Sydney and we discovered this place as the only one serving Halal food in the complex. Had the meatballs and Chicken shawarma salad. The meatballs were tender and juicy, some of the best I've had and the chicken shawarma was good the Salad wasn't much to right home about.

    Staff were friendly and quick. We were surprised how quickly we received our food. The food was delicious and there was lots of it. Would definitely eat here again.

    We took 2 chicken shawarma wraps and it was great! The waitress was kind. It’s a good place to take away.

    Loved the grilled chicken plate with rice, salad, and pita bread. Generous quantity with tasty authentic Egyptian cuisine!

    Loved the food. Will need to try their wraps. A thing to do here is to get your food to go and just eat at The Rocks. Views of the opera house with Mediterranean food - best.

    My wife and wanted something filling and healthy after a nice walk around Sydney and we found Bekya. The food was so good! I got the plate with Chicken Shawarma, with rice & lentals, carrot & cranberry salad and hommus for the dip (this also includes a warm pita). I have found my new work lunch spot and I can't wait to go back.

    This is a nice, yet unexpected place to order lunch, as it was my first time eating Egyptian cuisine for takeaway. I ordered the Koshari Bowl, with brown rice, macaroni, lentils, chickpeas, salsa, Dukkah and onions! It was filling and delicious- enough for two and was only $15.90! I wish that there were more vegetables in this bowl- like okra, spinach, etc.

    Bekya is wonderful. I lived in Egypt for years and miss the food very much. Bekya is the closest I have had to it in Australia. I go at least once a week now. Highly recommend the felafel and the chicken, both the shishkebabs and the shawarma. Always a pleasure to go there and be greeted by their lovely welcoming team.

    Great coffee, friendly service. They do syrups if you’re in it for the sugar. The falafels are also Delicious too. Big recommend

    Tasty Middle Eastern food, reasonably priced with polite, friendly service. Fresh flat breads made onsite. Chicken Scwarma wrap is my favourite.

    I had lunch here. I thought it was going to excellent , but I was disappointed. I can only speak for what I ordered with was the chicken shawarma plate. Price was good. The food looked good but the chicken was not. Every other bite or two had something hard like gristle in it . Had to spit it out. I will not go return.

    Bekya is a good option for lunch. It’s easy to order via app and once I reach there it’s ready. Good vegan/vegetarian options.Food is delicious. Like their Koshari,vegetarian plate. Only thing after increasing their price third time this year, I might go less often than before.
